    Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron sue US influencer Candace Owens for defamation

    Welcome to the new world of today. No respect for anyone else except for the narrow minded, ill informed self. How shallow people have become and believe that they can say anything about anyone to get their few minutes of fame with the selfies and puckered lips - 'look at mie, look at mie' syndome.

    Haigh’s Chocolate

    Love Haigh's chocolates especially the 'speckles' - chocolate buttons with hundreds and thousands. My partner gets me a couple of packets every few months. My one really bad unhealthy vice!

    Elastics

    I remember this when I was at school and the girls playing this game, which was simple to set up and kept the students moving in break times. How times have changed. Activities such as this has given time for being on screen and behind a monitor to play games.

    Joke She was 96yo

    Well said. The banks expect so much with their ridiculous methods that make access so difficult.

    Totally unaware, so inappropriate. It is not comedy - disgusting!

    Pharmacies are running dry! And families are already fighting over the last bottles of this medication

    Most medications come from overseas. We manufacture some but because we are a small country it is not viable and profitable to produce here. It is all about profit and business rather than providing the best for people.

    Free disability parking permits expand access after recent rule change

    In NSW you pay, can't remember how much now but there are expiry dates and have to renew with a doctor's certification that you require this permit.

    A weekly injection instead of four pills a day? This Parkinson’s breakthrough could change how we age

    We watched our mother deteriorate during her sixties for over 11 years. Her Parkinsons was not diagnosed until 10 years in. She did not have any shaking at all which is why her doctor dismissed it. It was her optometrist who picked it up and ticked off a list all of the symptoms except shaking...

    Grand Western Lodge and Blayney Council's $60,000 footpath battle

    Councils love to exert power and create such ridiculous situations. If they had agreed, costs would have been minimal and a quality solution would have been achieved at no cost to the council.

    Remember when cats were just…cats? Now they need paperwork and curfews

    My Dad had a few cats which he adored. They built a big cat run from an opening in the house to outside so the cats could roam outside and be inside when they wanted. All about safety for the cats and for the local surrounds as they were confined to the cat run when outside.

    Shocking Reason Your Daily Car Habit Could Be Slowing Down Your Brain, According to a Doctor

    Thank you for this - it has woken me up. I leave the circulation on inside the car because of the tunnels that I travel through around Sydney. It explains why sometimes I feel a bit groggy. I will certainly change how I do this from now on and only put on when I am in the tunnels and then open...

    Burnt-out doctor's resignation forces change in one-GP town of Cloncurry

    What a lot to expect from one doctor expected to be on call 24/7. I am glad for his own health that he made the decision he did. It would have been a very tough call to quit and applaud him for acknowledging he was burnt out before it really affected him. Governments expect so much from their...

    Uber ignored older users for too long—until now

    Me too. Some of my friends use them - their kids have shown them how to use it. I would not know where to start and am a bit afraid of being ripped off because I really do not know how this works. At the moment I still can drive and I use the train and trams when I go into the city. There will...

    Good News You Might Have Missed

    Thank you for reminding us of the good things happening. There is so much doom and gloom at present. Every time I have the news on it is showing how bad things have become and how dangerous society has become with terrible things happening. They tend to dominate the news. It makes it difficult...
